1 The data here shown for 1915 are the computed totals by classes of mills. 
' The total for 1909 differs from that shown in other tables because 4,543 mills, cutting a total of 124,966,000 
feet, or less than 50 M feet each, are omitted above. 
Figure 2 on pages 10 and 11 shows graphically the production by 
classes of mills and the total cut in each State. 
PRODUCTION BY STATES. 
Table 3 shows the reported lumber production by States for the 
years 1899 to 1914 and the computed State totals for 1915. Because 
of the closer touch of the western offices of the Forest Service with 
the mills in their territory, and the consequent greater accuracy of 
the estimates of probable 1915 total cut of the Western States, the 
figures for these States are not rounded off as are the corresponding 
figures for other States. The many thousand mills east of the 
Rocky Mountains make only an approximate estimate possible. 
Table 3 is designed to show the changes which are taking place 
in the regional production of the country's supply of lumber. The 
total reported cuts for each State for each of the years indicated are 
shown on one line and can readily be followed across the page for 
the purpose of noting rise or decline. In general, the table indicates 
the declining cut in the Northeastern, Lake, and Central States and
